Overview
EN 13232-5:2005/FprA1 (CEN) covers the specification and practice for railway switches (also called points) and their constituent parts. The standard establishes a working definition of switches, specifies minimum manufacturing requirements, sets codes of practice for inspection and tolerances, and defines identification and traceability methods. This document supports interoperability and is drawn up under CEN/TC 256; informative Annex ZA describes the relationship with EU Directive 2008/57/EC.
Key Topics
- Definitions and types: clear working definitions for switches and their constituent parts and identification of main switch types.
- Manufacturing minimums: requirements manufacturers must meet for production and material quality without prescribing specific proprietary solutions.
- Inspection and tolerances: codes of practice for routine inspection, permissible tolerances for both full and half sets, and procedures to verify compliance.
- Scope and supply limits: defines what is included within the supply scope and responsibilities between suppliers and infrastructure managers.
- Identification & traceability: methods and markings for identifying switch parts to enable life-cycle traceability and asset management.
- Descriptive parameters: standardized parameters to describe switches, including geometry, types of construction, performance requirements, design criteria, tolerances and inspection regimes.
Applications
This standard is intended for practical use by:
- Manufacturers - to ensure production meets agreed minimum requirements and that parts are identifiable and traceable.
- Infrastructure managers and operators - to implement consistent inspection regimes, interpret tolerances, and verify supplier conformity.
- Design and maintenance teams - to align switch geometry, performance criteria and design choices with interoperable track requirements.
- Procurement and certification - to define supply scope, acceptance criteria and confirm alignment with EU interoperability directives.
Practical benefits include improved safety through standardized inspection and tolerance regimes, streamlined procurement and supply chains via defined scope and identification, and enhanced interoperability where compliance with Annex ZA supports conformity with Directive 2008/57/EC.
Related Standards
- Other parts of the EN 13232 series covering switches and crossings and associated track components.
- Relevant EU Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSIs) and Directive 2008/57/EC (see Annex ZA for correspondence).
Keywords: EN 13232-5, railway switches, switches and crossings, track, inspection, tolerances, manufacturing, identification, interoperability.
